A confection that could easily have dissolved into a soup of mawkish sentiment gets souffleed into an amusing and often touching entertainment.

Under Edwin Sherin's impeccable direction, a dozen character sketches in depth are expertly rendered. The British accents are flawless and the set is hermetically sealed in a world of timeless Edwardia...
